A lubricant application device includes a base body configured to be mounted to an end surface of a gear. The base body includes a port configured to be connected to a source of lubricant and a holder for holding a lubricant applicator supported by the base body. A lubricant passage connects the port to the holder, and a lubricant applicator is mounted in the holder. The lubricant applicator is a coiled wire defining an internal passage for carrying the lubricant and may include a first length of coils with no axial spacing and a second length of coils that are axial spaced.

An auxiliary bearing system having a sleeve through which a shaft extends. A gap may be defined between the sleeve and the shaft when a primary bearing system supports the shaft, and the sleeve may engage and rotate with the shaft when the primary bearing system does not support the shaft. An oil ring may extend circumferentially around the sleeve and rotate in response to the rotating sleeve when the sleeve engages and rotates with the shaft. The rotating oil ring may distribute lubricant within the auxiliary bearing system.

A lubrication system for an electrodynamic machine including therein an internal oil sump and at least one oil ring hydrodynamic bearing, wherein the oil ring is in fluid communication with oil, in the sump and replenishes oil in the bearing. The lubrication system includes an electrically powered oil sump pump that is oriented within the sump. An of intake is coupled to the pump and is in fluid communication with oil in the internal sump. An oil discharge line is coupled to the pump discharge. The distal end of the discharge line is oriented proximal the motor bearing, so that oil discharged therefrom replenishes oil in the bearing and shaft journal interface. The lubrication system oil discharge parameters are independent, of the motor speed, load or physical orientation, and may be varied by a controller coupled to the oil sump pump.

An electric apparatus mounted in sliding bearings includes an end N at which is located a fan, an end D at which is located a shaft, a rotor journalled at one end by means of a first sliding bearing at the end N and the opposite end journalled by means of a second sliding bearing at the end D, the end N being provided with a first bearing housing with an oil sump for the first sliding bearing and the end D being provided with a second bearing housing with an oil sump for the second sliding bearing, and a passage system which interconnects the oil sumps to enable oil to circulate therebetween and limit the warm up of the slide bearing at end D. Limiting the warm up of the slide bearing at end D enables the rotational speed of the electric apparatus to be increased or allows the electric apparatus to be used in warmer environments than previously possible.

An oil ring guide system comprises a shaft mounted for rotation in either of two directions. Bearings support the shaft at two spaced-apart locations. Each bearing is formed with a pair of slots. A reservoir is mounted below each bearing. An oil ring is received in each of the four slots. Each oil ring is supported by and encircles the shaft and dips into the reservoir, whereby rotation of the shaft in either direction causes rotation of the oil rings in the same direction so that the oil rings carry oil from the reservoir into the bearing for lubrication thereof. Eight guide rods extend through the upper portion of the bearings. One pair of guide rods is displaced about the shaft axis 45.degree. in a clockwise direction from the vertical. The pair of guide rods associated with the other oil ring of the same bearing is displaced about the shaft axis 45.degree. counterclockwise from the vertical. The two pairs of guide rods associated with the other bearing are similarly displaced respectively clockwise and counterclockwise from the vertical. Thus the oil rings deliver equal amounts of oil regardless of the direction of shaft rotation. The guide rods reduce the friction between the oil rings and the bearing, thereby increasing the rotational speed of the oil rings for a given rotational speed of the shaft and increasing the amount of oil delivered to the bearings.

A jet spray slinger is provided for lubricating moving parts within a housing. A trough is fixed to or frictionally driven by a rotating shaft. The trough has holes that allow lubricant to be sprayed radially outward as the shaft rotates the trough. Axial holes in the trough or a deflector accomplish axial distribution of the lubricant.
摘要:
An improved modular bearing assembly capable of operation for radial and thrust loads under starved and flooded lubricant conditions with low power losses. A journal bearing alone may be employed or journal and thrust bearings. Thrust bearings per se are also disclosed and claimed. Particular bearing characteristics are disclosed for preferred journal liner and thrust bearings.
